The usual suspects, with a bit of a twist. I took the opportunity with the Ultra V9950 to benchmark it with the recently released 45.23 driver set, rather than the 44.03 set that's being doing the rounds in HEXUS reviews recently. It'll be interesting to see how the board performs with the new driver set.

The driver was setup like so.
